Suggested answer
He was weeping, bitter tears trickling down into his mouth and he felt how bitter they were and
was waiting for the break/light of day/dawn, to go to the kiosk, to look at himself. At one point,
he realized that they were actually tears of joy. Indeed, if you know how to sacrifice everything

“biography”, as if he were eavesdropping, the door opened and the guy who kept asking him for
autobiographies appeared again, smiling, grinning even, although he kept himself within the
